    Hi there, I have TR 2950X workstation on Aorus Pro Motherboard with 2x8GB of 3000Mhz. That is desperately in need of an upgrade. I need as much RAM as possible for 3D rendering. I was planning to get 4x16GB of 3466 DDR4 in first batch, and then later on another identical batch. The trouble is, I can't find any 3466Mhz modules larger than 8GB in official compatibility list. Could somebody please confirm (or deny) that 4x16 3466Mhz works on this board? Or 8x16GB for that matter. For instance these HyperX modules. Also, could someone please confirm what does Gigabyte mean with the following description of the motherboard memory support: Does that mean that 2nd gen TR like mine (2950X) will not be able to use 3466Mhz modules without manual overclock? Does it mean that I cannot use 16GB modules in quad channel? Thanks, Cheers, estugarda

    I think I may have found the culprit. Without the sticks from the kit, the system posts. Thinking back, I recall they came in damaged packaging. This won't be easy to RMA.

    OK. So here we go: 1. Only one RAM stick in A2 > I get the post 2. I add another RAM stick in B2 > no post 3. Try another RAM stick in B2 > no post 4. Try the last RAM stick in B2 > I get the post 5. I put the remaining sticks in A1 and B1 > no post So does this mean that one or two RAM sticks are faulty, or maybe a slot? Or is it for some reason so that the system doesn't work with 4 sticks at the time for some reason? The PSU is Seasonic 520W Bronze Plus PSU. Should be decent and sufficient for this build, right? PS: This MBO, from the build quality standpoint, seems to be utter garbage.

    Tried both with, and without USB keyboard/mouse. I have nothing else attached. Tried removing HDD and SSD. No difference. Next I'll try the ram and cpu, but that will take some time. No issue there. Tried another monitor/cable.

    I just built a system. At this point, I have no dedicated GPU. Only 8700k integrated. System: MBO: ASrock z370 Killer SLI CPU: 8700k RAM: 2 x GSkill Trident Z, PC-28800, 16 GB, F4-3600C17D-16GTZSW, DDR4 3600MHz, kit 2x8GB (32 GB DDR 4 total) - note that this model number is not listed on qvl memory support list, as it is a kit GPU: integrated, no external SSD: HyperX Fury 120 HDD: WD 1T Blue CPU cooler: BeQuiet Pure Rock The situation: When I press POWER all the fans spin, I can hear the HDD spin up, there is a constant green light under the Intel z370 labeled heatsink, but there is no post screen, and both the DVI and the HDMI outputs on motherboard rear panel give no signal. What I tried so far: 1. rechecked all the cables (including the motherboard power, CPU power...) 2. reset cmos 3. tried unplugging the power cord, and plugging it back in while holding the power Any ideas?

    Nah. Microsoft discontinued support for NVMe on Windows 7. I guess Windows 10 is not selling. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4343220/this-hotfix-is-no-longer-available However, NVMe driver hotfix can still be found online; https://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/417318-nvme-driver.html I didn't test it yet really, but after installing, Windows 7 found the driver and the drive.

    Hi, I just got the Gigabyte m.2 nvme 512gb drive. I installed it on my MB Asus Z170-A with latest BIOS. I can see the drive in BIOS but not in an existing Windows 7 x64 installation on my old SATA SSD drive. Windows Device manager is reporting a missing driver for PCI device, and Unknown device. I think those are the missing NVME driver. Is there actually a working nvme driver for Windows 7? Or should I do something in BIOS settings? Thanks, Cheers

    I know how refresh rate works, I just don't know about how it would affect my everyday work, as I never tried anything below 60Hz for CAD purposes. It sure doesn't sound very good. Regarding the brightness flickering possibility, which backlight technologies are there? I thought there is only the LED and the older bulbs thing. Most are LED nowdays, right? I don't seem to be able find the mentioned chart in NVIDIA Control Panel. It only says that my external monitor (DELL 2407WPFHC) is a DVI-PC display (in Display>Change resolution), and in "Set PhysX..." it actually states that my external display is connected to 650M, and laptop display to HD4000. GO figure. I do have NVIDIA set up as the preferred graphic processor for everything. Also the Intel HD4000 settings don't even list the external display anywhere, just the laptop display...

    Yeah. That's the first place I checked. I also contacted the customer service, but they are out of this earth slow and unhelpful. I've had nothing but terrible experience with them before. I don't count on any help from Asus customer service. If they really cared, they would list the info in specs, or at least in the manual, which I read from start to end. So it's positive that I won't be able to get more than 30Hz on 3440x1440? Would it at least work on 30Hz? What does 30Hz on LCD actually mean? I'm not a gamer, but I do use an external display alot for CAD. Would it strain my eyes? Some random people said it has HDMI 1.4 not 1.4a. Another weird thing I heard is that the HDMI could be attached to integrated Intel HD4000, so this could also throttle it down. I'm not sure about that. If the HDMI is 1.4, can I at least count on 2560x1440 @ 60Hz?

    I'm using my Asus i7 N76VZ (NVIDIA GT-650M GPU) laptop with a 1920*1200 external monitor via HDMI output (HDMI out cable + HDMI>DVI adapter), and now with all the new big high resolution IPS displays available, I've decided to upgrade my display. With 34" 21:9 displays in mind. However, to my absolute horror, I have just learned that HDMI output is limited when it comes to high resolutions and framerates. I wasn't able to find out exactly anything about any actual numbers. Only bits and pieces. Nothing official. I wasn't even able to find out which HDMI version my laptop has. So what is the maximum resolution of HDMI output on my N76VZ with NVIDIA GT-650M GPU? At what refresh rates? Which version of HDMI it is on N76VZ? (1.3/1.4?) If the HDMI cannot go higher than 1920*1200 at 60Hz, is there any other way except for HDMI to get the higher resolution out of my laptop? Say at least 2560x1440, if not 4K.
